Mount Martha, Kilburn Grove

Shore Dive | Shore access

Depth: 2 m (6.56 ft) to 6 m (20 ft)

Kilburn Grove, Mount Martha is a dive on a nice reef out from Mount Martha Beach South. Entry and exit are from the beach. Head north-west out from the beach snorkelling on the surface and eventually, you'd start to see reef under you in about 5 metres of water. Descent and go around the reef. Keep plenty of air in your cylinder for the journey back to shore.

This site is also known as Tombstone Reef, after the vertical tombstone like rocks on one side of the reef.

Parking is available in the car park opposite Kilbourn Grove road. There can be plenty of boat traffic so always tow a buoy with a dive flag displayed.

See WillyWeather (Mount Martha) as a guide for the tide times and the height of the tide.

DISCLAIMER: No claim is made by The Scuba Doctor as to the accuracy of the dive site coordinates listed here. Should anyone decide to use these GPS marks to locate and dive on a site, they do so entirely at their own risk. Always verify against other sources.

The marks come from numerous sources including commercial operators, independent dive clubs, reference works, and active divers. Some are known to be accurate, while others may not be. Some GPS marks may even have come from maps using the AGD66 datum, and thus may need be converted to the WGS84 datum. To distinguish between the possible accuracy of the dive site marks, we've tried to give each mark a source of GPS, Google Earth, or unknown.
